@title Arcanist User Guide: Windows
@group userguide
Explains how to install Arcanist on Windows.
= Overview =
Arcanist runs on Windows, either in `cmd.exe` or the Git Bash environments.
However, it will take a little effort to get working. This document explains
what you need to do in order to get it running.
NOTE: Windows support is relatively new and incomplete, file bugs when you run
into issues.
= Required Components =
You need to install:
- Arcanist itself, see @{article:Arcanist User Guide}.
- PHP
- SVN, Git, or Mercurial.
Then, configure:
- Your PATH environmental variable should include `arcanist/bin`, the `php`
directory, and the directory where your VCS command lives. When you type
`php`, `arc`, or (for example) `git` from the command line, they should all
do something.
- Your EDITOR environmental variable should point at some valid CLI editor,
like the Git Bash `vim`. (Under `cmd.exe`, you need to point to the actual
`vim.exe`, not just the `bin/vim` symlink which runs it under Git Bash
since `cmd.exe` does not know how to run the symlink.)
You can set environmental variables somewhere in the `Advanced` tab of the
`System` control panel.
Now you should be able to run `arc` normally (either from `cmd.exe` or
Git Bash) and it should work more-or-less properly.
